Chapter 658 Invitation


    Generally speaking, Duanmuhuai rarely set up branches of the courtroom in other areas. Most of the time, he would only help others get the trouble, then pat his **** and leave, leaving at most a statue of the court to collect some believers. For example, in the branch of Skyrim Province, Duanmu Huai is free-range at all. As long as they do not violate the explicit regulations of the court, nothing else matters.


    But Feilun couldn''t do it.


    Now that it has been confirmed that the corruption of the filth has begun to invade Feren, Duanmuhuai naturally cannot just be free-range. Maybe Feiren will become the first battlefield where the Inquisition will once again connect with the evil gods, so Duanmuhuai naturally cannot be as simple as other planets, just free-range.


    "Is it so dangerous?"


    After hearing Duanmu Huai talk about the reasons why he wanted to build a branch in this world, An and Gureya were also surprised.


    "Of course, do you still remember the world you traveled with me at the beginning? It was polluted by evil gods - but the pollution level in that world is relatively low."


    "Hey? In other words, will that happen in this world?"


    "That''s right, and since the evil gods have appeared in this world, then be careful next. They may weaken the barrier of reality again and then attack in large numbers... Mary, have you listened to me?"


    He glanced at Mary beside him helplessly, and Duanmu Huai complained.


    Well, Mary naturally couldn''t hear it at this moment.


    She was walking next to Duanmuhuai with her eyes glowing, looking at the various races on the road, looking excited.


    "That''s an elf, hey, hey, hey, hey, there are dwarves, their beards are really long! Ah, is there a lizard man over there? I didn''t expect there are a lizard man... Hey? That''s not the legendary orc, it''s so tall..."


    At this moment, Mary was excitedly writing in her notebook, looking very excited... Well, how can she say it, it''s understandable. A girl who likes to watch fantasy legends of magic and dragons suddenly comes to such a world, and it must be like a dream.


    "Woo...I don''t know if I can see the prince and the princess..."


    “Aren’t we princess too?”


    Hearing this, An smiled and complained, while Mary lowered her head embarrassedly.


    "Ah, sorry, I didn''t mean that, I mean... that... like the kind in the book..."


    "Well, it''s not incomprehensible."


    Although Mary''s answer was a bit hesitant, Duanmu Huai still understood what she wanted to say. Although An and Gureya are princesses, strictly speaking, Manalia''s clothing style is actually very modern, with white shirts, bow tie, ribbon skirts, etc., which are no different from modern people at first glance.


    The princess in the storybook Mary reads must be the kind of blond hair, a crown, and a dress... Well, I don''t know if there is any in this world.


    By the way, the princess should not wear a crown, is that the queen?


    As they spoke, the group also came to the city gate - Duanmu Huai brought them to the city this time naturally. After all, they were used to it, and they hadn''t gone to the Baldur Gate before.


    However, just as he reached the city gate, Duanmuhuai and others were stopped by the guards again.


    "Why………"


    Looking at this scene, An unyielding his hands.


    “It’s like this every time I act with Mr. Knight.”


    "Well... After all, Mr. Knight''s outfit is too..."


    Gureya also carefully continued, of course, everything that understands is understood.


    However, to everyone''s surprise, although the guards were very serious, they did not look like they were facing a great enemy. On the contrary, they looked at Duanmuhuai carefully, and then the guards led by them walked forward and bowed respectfully to him.


    "Sorry for disturbing me, are you Mr. Duanmu Huai, the Grand Judge of the Tribunal?"


    “I’m right.”


    "This... do you have anything to prove?"


    "No."


    Duanmu Huai snorted lightly, just kidding, can you still show your ID card here?


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, the guard was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to think of something.


    "Then... can you take off your helmet and let me identify it?"


    “……………I asked for it myself.”


    Duanmuhuai shrugged and then took off his helmet.


    “————!!”


    Almost at the same time, the guards facing Duanmuhuai were suddenly frightened and retreated. The citizens walking towards the city gate screamed loudly after seeing Duanmuhuai. Several young girls fainted when they turned their eyes and the others screamed as if they saw the siege monster and turned around and ran away.


    "Oh... I haven''t seen this scene for a long time..."


    Looking at this familiar and nostalgic scene, An also smiled, while Mary stared at the messy city gate in front of her... Well, it seems that this is true.


    "Is there any problem?"


    Duanmu Huai put on his helmet and asked, unlike before, the soldiers on the city wall were ready to go, pulling their bows and strings, and even shifting the direction of the crossbow chariot, aiming at Duanmu Huai''s body. It was as if the person standing in front of them was not a person, but a terrifying Barolo flame demon.


    "Ah...sorry, nothing."


    At this moment, the guard also came to his senses and hurriedly saluted him respectfully.


    "Sorry, I''ve confirmed it, you are indeed right. In fact, Master Kelben once left a message. If you come to Deep Water City again, please go to the Black Staff Tower to talk to him."


    “Kelbourne…oh…”


    Hearing this name, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that it was the mage that Emilia had mentioned in front of the dark area. The antidote he configured to relieve the plague in Wudong City. In return, he hoped Emilia and others could go to the dark area to find his missing nephew.


    Well... I don’t know if Emilia and the others are back.


    Duanmuhuai and Emilia don’t have any communication devices, so they naturally don’t know the whereabouts of each other. Logically speaking, Duanmuhuai thinks they should be able to come back. After all, the spiritual sucking monster in that area was killed by himself, and Zhuoer was directly exterminated by himself. Although the gray dwarf is sinister and cunning, it is impossible to deal with it as long as you work hard.


    The only problem is the tunnels in the dark area and the dangerous underground creatures hidden inside... Well, then I can only ask them to ask for their own blessings.


    I hope Thiel will give some strength to protect his believers.


    After all, there is a true **** in this world.


    In fact, Duanmu Huai was not interested in chatting with Kelben, but it didn''t matter. So he nodded and signaled the guards to lead the way. Then the group walked into the deep water city.


    There are many magnificent buildings worth boasting about in the Deep Water City, but few places will become the center of legend like the Black Staff Tower. As the residence of the great wizard Kelben Black Staff Orosan, this tower has received many visiting princes and nobles and adventurers, but from the outside, the tower is far less dazzling than its reputation - the smooth stone cylinder makes it look like a chimney, without windows or doors, but this is just a trick. In fact, when the guards brought them to the Black Staff Tower, a door appeared out of thin air on the wall that had nothing, and then slowly opened.


    "Let''s go."


    Duanmuhuai said to everyone - An, Gureya and Mary followed him, Ojis and Jiawei sat on Duanmuhuai''s left and right shoulders respectively. From the current point of view, this tends to become their long-term special seat.


    The inside of the Black Staff Tower looked much larger than the outside. Duanmuhuai walked into the gate and came to a circular space. Then the floor under their feet shook for a moment and ascended quietly. Looking at this scene, Ann and Gureya were very calm, only Mary looked around excitedly.


    "We are going to meet a great wizard next? So is he very powerful and able to turn a human into an animal?"


    "Why are you so persistent in this..."


    Hearing Mary''s feelings, Gureya sighed helplessly. After Mary learned that An and Gureya were both spellcasters, she also asked curiously if they had similar abilities... Well, they really didn''t.


    "Because this is very interesting?"


    "Haha, it''s really interesting." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, and everyone looked up and saw the floating disc carrying them passing through a magic barrier. Then the next moment, the light flashed in front of everyone''s eyes. The next moment, they came to a gorgeous and comfortable reception room. A man in a robe was standing there with his hands on his back, looking at them with a smile.


    That is Kelben Black Staff, one of the masked lords of Deep Water City, the voter of Mistera and the rare great wizard in this world.


    "Hello, Master Kelben."


    Duanmu Huai nodded to Kelbourne as a salute, and the girls also raised their knees. Although they did not understand the life of the great wizard like Duanmu Huai, the three of them were well-educated ladies, so of course they would not make a fool of themselves on such occasions.


    As for Ojis and Javi, they completely ignored Kelbourne.


    For them, no one except the master needs to care.


    "Hello, a guest from the Inquisition."


    Kelben raised his hand, and then several soft and comfortable seats appeared on the floor, and a table also appeared. The teapot and tea cup automatically flew in front of everyone and poured them a cup of tea. Seeing this scene, Mary became more and more curious. She looked at the tea set in front of her carefully before reaching out to take it. Duanmu Huai just took a look, then waved his hand, and then the cup of tea in front of him flew directly to the table and fell steadily.


    "I think you came here not to have tea, Master Kelben, after all, I''m not familiar with you."


    Duanmu Huai was quite polite to Kelben, especially after the other party showed the power of healing the plague of corruption. Magic was a magical power. Duanmu Huai did not expect himself to understand it, just as if he had never expected himself to become a mathematician. This kind of thing...it would be better for those geniuses to do it.


    "I''m very interested in you, Your Excellency Judge."


    Kelben smiled, looked at Duanmuhuai carefully, and then sat on the chair opposite him.


    "Especially your behavior is so shocking... You completely kill a god. This kind of thing has almost never happened again after the turbulent years. Now everyone is discussing and speculating about who did this move."


    Hearing this sentence, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.


    "It seems that the gods are also very idle. The speed of spreading gossip is faster than street aunties."


    "hehe………"


    Faced with Duanmu Huai''s sarcasm, Kelben smiled. In fact, what he said was not wrong. On the night when Rose died, many gods informed their believers of the demise of the evil goddess in various forms. Of course, as a voter of Mistera, Kelben also learned the news from his goddess, but the attitudes of the gods towards this news are also very different.


    The gods in the evil camp do not care about Rose''s life or death, but they are eager to find out the truth. After all, Rose is one of the evil gods with powerful divine power. She was killed in her own realm, and even her soul was destroyed without a trace. This kind of thing can be said to be unprecedented.


    Then, on the other hand, since the other party can kill Rose, they can naturally kill them, so the dark gods gathered their own strength and began to search.


    On the other hand, the gods in the kind camp have suffered this result...well, they are actually very complicated inside.


    After all, after Rose was an elf **** before his fall, Ke Ruilong expressed very complex blessings to this news, such as "I wish her cursed soul rest in peace". As for whether he truly thought so about this wife who betrayed him, only Ke Ruilong himself knew.


    Elisetri seems to be looking for the murderer who killed her mother, but considering the history of love and killing between her and Rose, it is hard to say whether Elisetri intends to thank or avenge his mother.


    As an ally of Elisetra, Mistera has been helping the Dark Girl fight against the Spider God, so after she learned that Rose had indeed been completely destroyed, she asked her believers to help investigate.


    Of course, what Kelben didn''t know was that among the gods, he was actually full of doubts about Rose''s fall.


    Generally speaking, struggles between gods are not uncommon, and killing gods is endless, but it is actually rare to actually kill gods. Because generally speaking, the true God is immortal. If you cut him down, you may be resurrected in the future.


    For example, during the Dark War, the dark girl Elisech cut off her brother and died herself. As a result, the two of them were resurrected and made up.


    But Rose''s death was completely different from this. The divine realm collapsed and all believers were destroyed. Moreover, their tragic situation at the time of death was very terrible. Almost all Rose believers seemed to have encountered some indescribable and indescribable fear before they died. Their souls were completely distorted and polluted, and then completely dissipated into the air.


    You should know that this is strictly impossible. The gods still have the ability to grasp the soul, but they can''t even find a surviving soul, as if everything about Rose was destroyed... In this case, even the gods in the kind camp had to feel cold.


    After all, no one can guarantee that the one who kills Rose must be the good god. It would be normal to stab the demon lord in the back.


    Moreover, this will not happen if ordinary gods kill each other. Generally speaking, if you kill a god, at most you will devour and inherit its divine nature and divine realm. For example, after Cialek killed his former God of Death, Kelanwo, he inherited his clergy and the Kingdom of the Dead, and most of the believers who were originally Kelanwo in the Kingdom of Dead changed their faith and directly believed in Cialek.


    So in theory, no matter who kills Rose, she should inherit her clergy and the faith of the Drow Elves. At most, she would appear on the spot and tell other Drow Elves, "Your former boss was fired, and now I have the final say in this territory."


    Like this, the divine realm collapses, the divine fire is extinguished, the clergy is destroyed, and all believers are also destroyed... Which **** is not afraid of seeing it!


    Kelben didn''t know the turmoil among the gods, but after he got the oracle of Misterra, he immediately thought of the news from his nephew from the dark area - they met an organization below that claimed to completely eliminate the Drow Elves and their patron saints because they threatened humanity.


    Judicial Court.


    Of course, Kelben didn''t think it was done by Duanmu Huai. He was more inclined to be an organization that believed in some gods, but Kelben really couldn''t think of what kind of **** would do such a thing.


    The situation of the trial court. After they came back, Kelben also asked Emilia carefully, and Emilia also answered Kelben, but...


    "Miss Emilia and the others have returned to Deep Water City safely, and my nephew is back."


    "Oh? This is good news."


    Duanmuhuai was completely unmoved, while Kelben was holding a teacup and staring at Duanmuhuai''s helmet.


    "In fact, out of curiosity, I have asked Miss Emilia about the situation in the courtroom. I have to say that your dogma is really... unexpected. After all, we have never heard of organizations that only protect humans."


    “Oh, now you know.”


    Duanmu Huai sat lazily on the chair, looking like he was unable to get into the salt.


    "By the way, the Inquisition does not care about the life or death of races other than humans."


    "Ah, but our Inquisition still has a clear definition of humanity."


    Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, An hurriedly spoke.


    "Oh? Is that true?"


    "That''s right, according to the rules of the Inquisition, as long as the skull does not mutate, it will be regarded as a human, so... I don''t think I have to worry about this problem, right?"


    "Skull?"


    Hearing An''s explanation, Kelben became more and more surprised. He carefully looked at the skull mark on Duanmu Huai''s power armor, and then withdrew his gaze.


    "This is really... surprising. Can you ask why the skull is used as a sign?"


    “It’s very simple.”


    Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.


    "For the Inquisition, the skull represents the purity of human beings, which means that this person has not been corrupted by chaos and evil until his death. It represents the purity and lofty sacrifice of human beings. Demons can change all the time, but the only thing they cannot have is the skull of human beings. No matter how they change, they cannot imitate the form of human beings."


    “This is really…”


    I have to say that when Kelben was quite surprised when he heard Duanmu Huai''s answer, he felt relieved at this moment. It was obvious that according to the sign of the division of humans in the Inquisition, then kind races such as elves, dwarves and halflings would be considered humans.


    Of course, it''s like an orc, a giant, or something... well... but it doesn''t seem to be your business.


    “After that being said, I have something to ask Master Kelben for help.”


    Duanmu Huai was too lazy to exchange greetings, so he went straight to the point.


    "Speaking."


    "The Inquisition wants to find a place to open in this continent. I wonder if Master Kelben can introduce a good place?"


    Then, Duanmu Huai stared at Kelben and said his request lightly.
